Leica APO Summicron-M 75mm ASPH Hands-on review

[arnurson]

This review is perfect. Relevant information and a little bit of joking. Quite frankly I think digital rev put too much emphasis on the latter part in their recent videos. It feels a bit forced. Maybe they'll gain viewers faster with that new style, but those viewers will eventually get tired of it, because they're not mainly watching the videos for the cameras.

[helthuismartin]

Only collectors are buying Leicas .They dont even shoot pictures whit it.I have never seen a pro photographer shooting pictures whit a Leica.,They always use Canon orr Nikon gear.That it self explanes a lot.

[johnnybe89]

@helthuismartin Okey... check out some of the magnum photographers, or maybe they dont are pro enough for you!

[MacHelpMex]

More Leica lens reviews please ;) lovely pieces of glass and metal.

[helthuismartin]

@MacHelpMex Are you a collector too?

[jannikmeissner]

Kai is your watch a Swatch Irony Dark Phoenix Edition? If so we have the same Watches :-)

[keyqui05]

this could be the best commercial for the Leica...

[ozzy1280]

4:57 - 5:31, camera porn

[MrPlaystationboy]

kai needs to paint a leica m9-p pink

[catalinaumbert]

so great..it floats

[alfonsocuiti]

This camera+lens would be like using a 50mm in an APS-C camera, right?

[SuperHolybasil]

@alfonsocuiti That question contradicts itself, but that focal length would be around 115mm on an APS-C sensor.

On the M8 it would be a 100mm.

[alfonsocuiti]

@SuperHolybasil Yes, my question was a bit strange =P What I meant to say was that the field of view in Kai's camera is like a 50mm in APS-C (equivalent to 75mm)

[SuperHolybasil]

@alfonsocuiti Ahh then yes, you are correct.

[wikigeek]

AHHAHHA the lens hood is like a foreskin...

[hiphoplivs]

wow, a leica M9=$7,000

[PenAirPilot]

I get sublimely happy to see how "romantic" Kai gets around Leica equipment (rightfully so.) Watching these Leica vids make me fade into the background of a bokehlicious world of passion photography. Like creamy peanut butter! Thanks DRTV!

[eyun01]

Leica Camera... something Kai wouldn't dare destroying nor painting. Thumbs up if you agree

[SmellsLikeUpDawgg]

@eyun01 You were wrong.

[ApertureTH]

@eyun01 He just painted an M9 pink loool

[rickmeister23]

@eyun01 So much for that theory..

[cchokl]

Enjoyable video! I'm a BIG Leica fan so love this video. I also once owned this lens. I think this is by far at the moment the best optical offering across all focal lengths from Leica M.

....just a bit comment....Kai when you introduced its nice metal inbuilt hood, you haven't introduced that the hood when extended can be turned a bit and locked there so that it will not slide back! Hah gotcha!

[blickblocks]

The guy pushing the dolly is transporting Sekonic light meters. How ironic.

[N1CK0N]

Damn you Kai, for each new Leica related review I see, I want to have a Leica camera more and more. But i can't afford one, maybe one of their cheapest lens. Oh well som day....

[dragonz46]

@N1CK0N I hear ya. About the only thing i could afford from Leica is a pamphlet...

[Schnitzer17]

What was the song that started playing around 5:05? It was beautiful, and I want to own it. Thanks!

[tobearockstar0706]

What's the difference between the summicron and summilux and elmar?

[muzglimy]

the leica M9 ................... photographys most useless invention

[DaRealPatMan]

It's like a beautiful digital OM10!!

[wickedexp]

If you have EVEN MORE MONEY... You should review the Hasselblad H3D.

[nightwolf7288]

how about a review on Voigtlander?

[iGeekPro]

This is like camera pornography...

[ClassicKhmer]

Built like a brick out house! haha

[verbod]

Leica is overrated

[stimwe]

Was that Lok @ the backgroup on 0:22 ?

[niydable]

oh.. my bad, i couldn't find the Facebook page before

[allusernamestaken01]

75 is perfect for the street

[gerSick]

Leica the gods of lenses...

--

Anyone who talks about the the noise at high ISO does not know that this Leica combo demolishes your DSLR at base ISO.

[Stewieofhonor]

Lok C needs a segway!!!

[RestlessScreams]

kai's hair looks a bit shitty now^^

[josiahxface]

@RestlessScreams itll grow back

[s044121]

Ahh!!! I dropped it!!! Woops... What am I gonna do about it?? Guess I'll have to ask the company to get me a new one... =]

[iphuckr]

kai that doesn't look like your billingham bag... is it?

[niydable]

DigitalRev needs a FACEBOOK PAGE!

[9VARZ]

@niydable It has one.

[DigitalRevCom]

@niydable We do have facebook pages for DigitalRev, DigitalRevTV, Kai W and Lok C. We can't share URL here, but it's easy to search for them in facebook!

[verbod]

@DigitalRevCom

why cant you share them here ?

[lenoat702]

who would want that thing

[jh33no]

what bag are you using at 3:51

[chrismecking]

that's quality made in Germany ;) all metal, no plastic touchy feeling...and the picture quality speaks for itself!

[jamessicat25]

@chrismecking Yeah the price is also German. Good luck paying for repairs brother!

[shianghorng]

[1stAjay]

[Mauivavi]

[grainyday]

Serious one, for the balance - fantastic video - enjoyed it to bits . cheers from London.

[BattleOfBokeh]

OHHH Kai you look like a girl

[funtube99999]

Leica lenses are great quality, but noise performance of the camera... well you dont get that much out of what you pay for

[alexthedaniels]

canon 60d vs nikon d90

[Mozo901]

Na the camera was a canon

[raz0rx]

one of the mellow videos of Kai

[zhjiln]

nice vid as usual....

going for justin beiber look kai ?

[PigsRflying]

this is filmed with…? thxs

[ChrisAstro30]

@PigsRflying D7000 or something

[AkiraMusic]

@ChrisAstro30 Yes. Because the D7000 says "Canon" on the front of it.

[WangunStyleways]

@PigsRflying 5D Mk2 usually.

[kockgunner]

@PigsRflying No matter what camera he reviews, it always seems the camera used to film is the best.

[ecyor7]

i enjoy the fact that you guys are able to do serious reviews like this this one not messing around in your videos, and also playful ones that entertain.... keep it up, love your videos!!

[richardxob]

@ErnieCosmo I support that idea. the noctilux 0.95 review

[mgxp]

Excellent video.

[gav1n1sed]

omg hes not wearing the cap!

[MrPen7]

The guy at 0:20 looks like Lok so bad. ha ha ha.

[TaishiMatsumoto]

Wow really diggin that photo of the guy at the dock!

[175myles]

Kai, if you get a Haircut and Coloured Pinkenta I'll buy a D7000 from DigitalRev.

[Thekavsen]

Pause at 0:26 !!!

[hcoll]

[MrSnowBreezy]

[hcoll]

@MrSnowBreezy DSLR hanging on neck. Shitty self portrait with P&S.

[unprofessionalvids]

@MrSnowBreezy i missed it too.. probably just a troll

[MrSnowBreezy]

@unprofessionalvids yea... no idea brewski

[fanjapanischermusik]

@hcoll

[hcoll]

@fanjapanischermusik You people must be joking.

[fanjapanischermusik]

@hcoll

sorry, i don´t get it

[hcoll]

@fanjapanischermusik Never mind.

[Olberbabycakes]

@hcoll Why what the hell?! Am i missing something? hehe

[TheDigitalPhotograph]

@Olberbabycakes The little kid in the background jumping on the wood ;)

[xstncd]

@Olberbabycakes I think its that she has a DSLR but pulls out a smaller possibly crappier point and shoot >_>"

[CYNFELYN23]

Can you please do a Telephoto Prime lens review? Like the Canon 400mm f5.6 of 300mm f4...

Thumbs up if you would like to see a review of this sort.

[IPlayHARDgoPr0]

@CYNFELYN23 that would be great!!

[1986Chaitanya]

also one more silly question, does this lens with hood attached block the viewfinder? I tried 35mm f/1.4 with hood attached blocked some part of viewfinder.

[leesuper73]

What's with your hair?

[siliconsurf]

why isn't this pink?! how dare you guys...

[sposim94]

nice hair lol

[siliconsurf]

@sposim94 it's fobbylicious

[1986Chaitanya]

on top my wishlist: to buy a leica M series rangefinder.

[manho1818]

Champagne Court , TST , Hong kong.

[shouldyray]

I think my hands would be far too big for that :S But maybe one day, one DAYYYY!! :D

[weboo15]

kai is a moving image stabilizer!

[MadSinister]

Kai! We have the same hair, except mine is way thicker. :))

LONG LIVE THE HAIR!

[siliconsurf]

@MadSinister shaves you bushy pubes, you sick bastard

[SL83NED]

WOW YMCA!!!

[JaniceWLV]

kai is not kai without his hat

[SavageHardstyle]

OMG HAIRCUT

[haji727]

The black and whites of Kai in the beginning of the video are awesome. I see Loc is the videographer. I would like to see a video of Loc doing a video shoot. Awesome video, but I will never own a Leica camera.

[KsantiMedia]

I wet myself at the bokeh at 5"55

[ar4216]

fuck Leica

[NikkLJs]

Oi, Kai, GET a HARCUT!

[plawkzer]

oi kai, get a haircut

[etfjwmnb]

@plawkzer Kai looks awesome with longer hair

[cashewnuts29]

Kai/Lok, can you make a review about Pentax K5 and K-r. :) My friend want to buy it because of the colors, but I dont know anything about its picture quality. If its worth the money. Thanks.

[x33HxOxLxY]

Wow. A M9

[changyunited]
